Presence speakers

You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, but they do not output sound simultaneously. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the PRIORITY parameter in MANUAL SETUP (see page 79).

The surround back speakers output the surround back channel included in Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES software and operate only when the Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logicx, THX Select2, THX Music, THX Games or THX Surround EX decoder is turned on.

The presence speakers output ambient effects created by the DSP sound fields. They do not output sound when other sound fields are selected.
